I don't KNOW, I said I see no evidence of it.

We're also only 1 point off 15th , and the actual quality of the football and xg suggests it's more likely we'll continue to trend downward
I don't think he's turned around anything yet, but they look improved somewhat. Spending 200 million across their frontline will do that though.
As for us, the results have nosedived. If Frank is to get the season he'll have to improve results one way or another, to at least a semi acceptable level.
We carry on losing every week there's only one outcome.
I think the other issue is we just play dull football. So that would need to change if he's to be successful long term here.
Fans won't pay those ticket prices to watch this week in week out without having strong opinions about what's happening ( or not happening)

We finished 17th last season, and this season we've had no Kulu, Madders, Solanke or Son.
It's still better than what Ange did, and we gave him all the time in the world. After having to live through that, I don't mind letting Frank stay until the end of the season. At least he's no Ange, and who knows, maybe he does need a bit of time. He should be given the chance.
7th 20/21 season IIRC.
It's not.
It's a quality issue.
Playing Chelsea and Woolwich so close together has exposed how far off it this group is.
Reece James and Declan Rice are at the age & level Kane and Son once were for Spurs.
We have no players in that bracket now.
VDV could get there but I doubt he will do that in a Spurs shirt under Thomas fucking Frank.
He will have to leave Spurs on the same well trodden path of Carrick, Modric, Berbatov, Bale and Kane if he wants to get to that level.
Levy has absolutely fucking killed us with his wage constraints and selling the best players rather than building on them.
Only the wankers stay in the long run because they can't do any / much better than Spurs and the shitty level Levy pitched us at for 24 years.
What Poch achieved was a fucking miracle under the constraints placed upon him by the cunt Levy.
Sunderland took 4 points off those team btw...
Yes.
I accept that.
But Chelsea have emerged as title contenders and top 4 favourites off the back of how easily they crushed our bunch of wasters in our own back yard.
Have to laugh at the "United have turned it around" takes. They were 45 minutes away on Sunday from being behind us in the table. Meanwhile, we are apparently in full blown crisis and relegation candidates.
Fickle, fickle.
Fickle, fickle.
Relevance?
We helped them to believe they are good enough whereas Sunderland caused them a few doubts.
100% get the man back, fuck ENIC off - he cared about this football club!
Because those teams underestimated them and they’re a surprise package. Both Woolwich and Chelsea play us with full focus. Acheampong and Guiu started vs Sunderland & the stadium of light rocked Woolwich. Our stadium is dour - these guys are just happy to be here.
We’re a top 6 name with top 6 team wages but none of that actual quality and none of the plucky spirit or togetherness of a Sunderland either.
Because our soft cunt players are being cunts. Again.
Aresholes.
You are seeing the lack of effort, right?
From Bentancur and Udogie when they are slowing play down with the ball? Sure.
A lot of our faults are due to lack of quality and mistakes in my opinion.
The more we lose, what you said will become more evident for sure.
And it looks like we could easily finish 17th again , we lost those 4 but added Xavi, Muani, Palhinha and Kudus.
As well as having VDV, romero readily available so far.
Zero excuses for Frank, it's been unacceptable. Results I can handle , the trash performances I can not
I'm sure he'll get to the end of the season which he should probably. But I'm not optimistic of him implementing any kind of cohesive decent football
The results aren’t as bad as they seem, only 6 points separate us from 3rd, and the whole league is incredibly competitive this season.
That said, getting a result against Newcastle is crucial. If we lose there, it could mark the beginning of the end for Frank, especially if he struggles to string together 2-3 wins in a row after that game.
My target for this season was 65 points and top 8 so there’s still room for trial and error.
Let’s not forget, this same team finished 17th last year. I don’t understand why we're acting like they've suddenly got some sort of actual standards to live up to, lol.
